Each PALpack technician has been trained at our manufacturer\u2019s factories. This training includes preventative maintenance, fault finding and basic programming. This training is bolstered by their experience in installations all over the UK.<\/p>\n<p>In order that your machine continues to give optimum performance and ensures a long production life, a service contract is always recommended.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\u201dDownload our service leaflet\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.palpack.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F02%2FPALpack-service-leaflet.pdf|target:_blank\u201d][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 css=\u201d.vc_custom_1556865866657{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;padding-left: 55px !important;}\u201d cspt-responsive-css=\u201d75812167|colbreak_no|||||||||colbreak_no||||||||15|colbreak_no||||||||||colbreak_no|||||||||\u201d][vc_single_image image=\u201d12368\u2033 img_size=\u201dfull\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row cspt-text-color=\u201dblackish\u201d cspt-bg-color=\u201dwhite\u201d cspt-zindex=\u201d1\u2033 full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1599472008297{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}\u201d el_class=\u201dcspt-overflow-visible\u201d cspt-responsive-css=\u201d65391859|colbreak_no|||||||||colbreak_yes|||||||||colbreak_no||||||||||colbreak_no|||||||||\u201d][vc_column cspt-zindex=\u201d2\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">What is involved in a service visit?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Well, we start by speaking with your operators and maintenance team, to find out if there is anything that may be concerning them. These are noted before the service begins. Any issues are addressed during the visit, wherever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">1. Visual inspection of wear parts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">These are parts that over time, are known to wear, such as bearings, chains, timing belts, pneumatic cylinder seals, conveyor drive pulleys and chains and gripper components. If these parts need to be changed then they will be, if not, but are showing signs of wear, we will list these and notify you that they will need to be changed in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">2. Lubrication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">All lubrication points are checked and replenished, where necessary. Some parts need to be inspected to ensure that lubrication is being administered by auto-lubrication systems, which are fitted to our machines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">3. Pneumatic leaks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Compressed air is not cheap to produce, so we ensure that there are no leaks on the machine. This is done by examining all connection points on the machine and then either refitting any pipes that may have worked loose and replace them if necessary. We carry out the same process if any hydraulic system is fitted to your machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">4. Stretching and wear<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">There are components on every machine that, after a certain amount of work, will have to be changed. These include chains, timing belts and bearings. We will know when this needs to happen so that we can change these before they start to compromise machine performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Backup and support<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Finally, our service contracts can be used, not just for a service, but if you have a breakdown, out of warranty, then you can use your service contract visit, without call out charges. You can also use a service visit, for other possible requirements, such as programming new pallet formats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Our service contracts can be taken one at a time, or our most popular contract is four visits. For this, you pay for three visits and your fourth visit is free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">The cost of our contracts are based on our day rate plus travel time and (if required) hotel expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">So, for that peace of mind, we strongly recommend that when purchasing our machines, you always take out our service contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\u201dBook your service now\u201d
